Paul MacVittie was born in Buffalo, NY in 1937. In the spring of 1938, he was kidnapped from his mother and, after a couple of years, was dropped off at a nunnery in Detroit, MI. Eventually he was returned to his paternal grandparents’ home in Buffalo. After his father remarried, Paul went to "live" with him in Bridgeport, CT, but found his "father figures" and "family" through athletic activities in the neighborhood and high school. He was offered an athletic scholarship to a "Prep School" in Milford, CT. From there he went to Gordon College, Gordon-Conwell grad school in Massachusetts, Fuller Grad School in Pasadena, CA and St. Louis Psychoanalytic Institute in St. Louis, MO. His career spanned various professional disciplines, all working with people, ranging from a college coach, inspirational speaker and teacher, business personnel executive to psycho-dynamic psychotherapist - a life coach. Paul and his wife of 41 years, Robbin, live in rural New Hampshire where he loves to read, observe wildlife and tend the flower gardens and fields around their home.
